Answer #1
What’s your CPU?
Answer #2
Your PC is either too slow to render that large of a file, your graphics card is too bad, or your monitor does not support that resolution and it putting extra strain on your PC trying to compress it.
Answer #3
Yeh this happed to me when trying to watch the HD trailer of transformers 2 on my laptop. What CPU and RAM do you have because i think its those factors that stuggle to process the data quick enough. Try making the screen smaller as well by dragging the corners of the playing movie in, and see if it makes a difference
Answer #4
Dont watch HD movies then. Well most likely you dont have enough ram or cpu is not fast enough or your gfx card cant handle the HD video. You should go for small rips from the 300MB Team, those get to be in good quality and are in small in size so you never face problems. Also it could be cuz your codecs got messed up. I would suggest using VLC player to play all videos/music.

Answer #6
Contrary to popular belief, HD decoding has little to do with the video card.
Answer #7
I kept getting lag in VLC, so I’ve now switched to watching everything in Windows Media Player with the K-Lite codecs.
There’s no lag at all in WMP, for me, at least. 0_o
Answer #8
its more than likely your monitor. check its refresh rate (hertz) if its stuck at 60 than you wont be able to watch hd.
and it could also be if your resolution isnt high enough
Answer #9
hd movie
movie specs and type (mkv blu-ray) ?
system specs ?
what codec you update ? CoreAVC ?
what player you using ?
you have the latest video card drivers installed ?
its more than likely your monitor. check its refresh rate (hertz)
if its stuck at 60 than you wont be able to watch hd.
and it could also be if your resolution isnt high enough
if either of these it would more that likely be the opposite
to high settings
but I doubt it’s either
Answer #10
Make sure your video card drive is installed and up to date.
